Breeze Through Security With TSA-Friendly Fragrance Products

By Leave a Comment

Sometimes traveling just stinks. Literally.

We’ve all encountered a peculiar odor during a trip, whether it’s been on an airplane, in a rental car, or even in a hotel room (I know I’ve been forced into booking a smoking room in an otherwise full hotel). An up-and-coming company called Scentsy is angling to fix that very problem.

Known for its wickless candles and warmers, Scentsy has come up with a collection of fragrance products designed with traveling in mind. They’re fun, portable, and””best of all””TSA-friendly. Here are the most travel-worthy of the lot:

Fragrance Foam: One of the newest additions is the 2.7-ounce Fragrance Foam. An alcohol-free, scented hand sanitizer, the Fragrance Foam is packed with emollients so it kills germs without drying out your skin like many other hand sanitizers tend to do. It’s available in five scents””none of which actually smell antiseptic-y ($6).

The Scent Pak: Scent Pak pouches are filled with scented beads; you can just stick one in your luggage and let it go to work on its own. A pouch in the Pima Cotton fragrance, for example, can be placed in the suitcase carrying your dirty laundry; the light clean mix of lilies, freesia, and jasmine will leave a fresh-fabric smell””not an overwhelming essence, like you spilled a bottle of perfume inside.

Blogging for Business

New to blogging but don’t know what to write about? You’re not alone.

Those who have been blogging for some time know how beneficial adding new content can be to your business. Just two of the basic benefits of blogging include helping to drive traffic to your direct sales website as well as develop a following of loyal customers.

One of the most common mistakes I see with new bloggers is not updating their content frequently enough. Daily would be ideal; a couple times a week would be great; but anything less than once per week is not going to help a great deal.

Sure time is always a challenge for business owners. Yet when it comes to blogging, more than finding time – the bigger obstacle seems to be finding topics about which to write.

Here’s my secret to finding blog topics: [Read more…] about Blogging for Business

Drama in Direct Sales

By Leave a Comment

You Don’t Have to Like Your Coworkers

Being at the highest rank of my direct sales business is a wonderful thing “¦ usually. Though along with that title are also opportunities to hear about all the drama that goes on within my group. Drama in direct sales is not unique to my group or my company. It happens within every downline in every company out there. Some scenarios aren’t as dramatic as others, but conflicts do arise. It’s the nature of the beast.

Not to let the male direct sellers off the hook, but generally the drama occurs between or among women. I get to hear She said/She said or She did/She did. My role as a director is not necessarily to moderate, as I rarely have any evidence to support what has been accused; but rather to listen, advise and encourage particular action on the part of the individuals involved.

Our company does not allow any changes in sponsorship. I suspect other companies have the same policy. This is another reason why I encourage everyone to take their time and carefully select a sponsor before enrolling. Because you’re generally stuck with the person you signed up with, it behooves everyone to figure out a way to get along.

As is more common due to the internet, my entire team is long distance. I have met face to face with very few team members. I don’t have the ability to sit across the table to look each in the eye and determine who is blowing smoke up my skirt. I can only go by gut instinct and by listening carefully to what I am being told by each caller. It’s my role to remain impartial. [Read more…] about Drama in Direct Sales

Where to Leave Samples

a small part of anything or one of a number, intended to show the quality, style, or nature of the whole; specimen

Yup, talking about the use samples yet again. First was the article addressing the importance of using samples to market your business. Then I showed you detailed instructions on how to make samples. That covers the Why and How, so it stands to reason, there must be a Where.

Where Should You Leave Samples?

Keep in mind that the cost of a sample (pennies) is minuscule compared to the return on investment you can reap. With that in mind, don’t be stingy with the samples. I’m not referring to spewing handfuls all over the place, but rather strategically placing samples here and there. Before you accuse me of soliciting, remember you’re leaving free samples – something that someone can actually try before they buy.

The list below is not meant to be inclusive, but merely to stimulate your creative juices.

1. On your table when you leave a restaurant
2. In public restrooms – in stalls and/or near the sink
3. On the bleachers when you get up from a sporting event
4. In the self-pay credit card slot at the gas station
5. In every envelope that you mail
6. In library books that you return to the library [Read more…] about Where to Leave Samples
